Firefox Automation report – week 33/34 2014

In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 33 and 34.

Highlights

To make sure that our weekly meetings will be more visible to our community, we got them added to the community calendar. If you are interested in what’s going on for Firefox Automation you are welcome to join our Monday’s team meeting.

In regards of the Mozmill project, Henrik landed his patch, which makes Mozmill more descriptive in terms of unexpected application shutdowns. Especially in the past weeks we have seen that Firefox does not restart as expected, but simply quits. There is bug 1057246 filed for the underlying problem. So with the patch landed, Mozmill will log that correctly in the results. Beside that we can also better see when crashes or a not by Mozmill triggered quit happens.

For Mozmill CI we landed a couple of enhancements and fixes. The most important ones were indeed the addition of 20 new locales for testing beta and release builds of Firefox across supported platforms. That means we cover 30 of about 95 active locales now. To cover them all, a good amount of follow-up work is still necessary. Immediately we stopped to run add-on tests for all branches except Nightly builds to save more time on our machines.

Henrik also continued on PuppetAgain integration for our staging and production CI systems. One of the blockers was the missing proxy support, but with the landing of the patch on bug 1050268 all proxy related work should have been done now.

Also on the continuous integration for TPS tests we made progress. The implementation got that far for Coversheet that we made the Jenkins branch the active master. There are still issues to implement or get fixed before the Jenkins driven CI can replace the old hand-made one.
